We're a month away from April Fools Day and I'm looking for creative but fun pranks to pull on people, specifically one in particular. Unfortunately my jokes have a tendency to deviate towards the unbalanced. Compressed air placed in the tube of an obsessive toothpaste tube roller. The best being visiting a best friend in the morning before she got up, knowing her husband always left the back door unlocked in the morning. On walking into the kitchen and not finding my friend up and realizing it was April 1st, decided to wake her up with a shock. Picked up a chef's knife, mind you they were never known for their having sharp cutlery, and proceeded up to the master bedroom. Jumped on the bed, over friend and slammed the knife down next to her head as she was awaking from the movement above her. Needless to say the look of terror was priceless, but not something you should put a best friend through. After she finally stopped screaming and crying she ended up on the floor laughing with me, but again not the type of mischief the average friend can appreciate. So if anyone has any healthy suggestions or just good April Fools anecdotes, do tell.

Take some pennies, roll them with ink or graphite from a pencil on the edges. Give them to your friends, bet that they can't roll it down their face from forehead to chin without lifting it up. Use your own clean penny as an example. Watch as they draw lines down the middle of their faces.

So the local theater group in my town was putting on a production of "The Full Monty". My friends decided to get revenge on one person in the pit (she pulled pretty sinister trick on one of them a while back), It was opening night and the pit was going to have one last touch up before curtain. We come up with the story that my friend got hurt at work and wouldn't be able to perform, so sends me in his place but he's on so much pain meds that he neglects to tell me it's opening night. i proceed to go down to the pit wearing jeans and a t-shirt and start asking why everyone else is in all black. I sit down and start chowing my part (on purpose) and this whole entire time the one who's getting pranked is just freaking out. Finally my friend comes down and everybody in on the prank yells "April fools!" and just bust up laughing.
